Record-Breaking Bridges

The Normandy Bridge, the Chaban Delmas Bridge in Bordeaux and the Ténérez Bridge in Brittany. Three emblematic structures that have broken records in France, Europe and even the world. In 1994, the main span of the Normandy Bridge beat the previous world record of the Nanpu Bridge in Shanghai by more than 250 meters. The Chaban Delmas Bridge in Bordeaux proposed a major challenge. Lifting its main span of 2,500 tons to a height of 47 meters. A feat that made it one of the highest lift bridges in Europe in 2013. The bridge of Ténérez, finished in 2011, is an exceptional work of its kind. In 2022, it still holds the title of the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world. Three bridges – there stunning achievements of civil engineering.
